Luke Shaw has shed some light on why his form for Manchester United has not been great this season.
The left-back enjoyed a superb Euro 2020 last summer, and was expected to continue that form into the current campaign for United.
However, Shaw has since looked pretty poor for the Red Devils, and even lost his place to Alex Telles for a stretch after Ralf Rangnick took over.
Now, though, the stopper has suggested that a lack of feeling wanted and enjoying his football at club level have been preventing him from performing at his best:
“It’s always important to feel like you’re wanted and I think especially here I always feel that,” Shaw told Sky Sports after England’s 2-1 victory over Switzerland on Saturday.
“I’m not saying I don’t at United but here, the way things are, I feel wanted and I enjoy my football. And I think a big part of football is the enjoyment.

Like a number of England stars, Shaw continues to shine for the Three Lions despite his struggles at club level.
And the full-back was once again looking sharp for his country at the weekend, netting an equaliser as England came from 1-0 down to beat Switzerland 2-1:
